Is it safe to use the force merge option?

The --force flag should be used cautiously, typically only when you are certain CI will pass or when an immediate merge is required despite pending checks.

What does the land-branch skill do?

It automates the multi-step process of merging a feature branch, including rebasing, checking for dependencies, verifying documentation, creating a PR, and deleting the local branch.

Why does it check for downstream dependencies?

In the community-patterns repository, changing one pattern's input type can break others that import it. This skill identifies those risks so you can fix them before merging.

How does it handle rebase conflicts?

It initiates the rebase process; if conflicts occur, you resolve them manually and then continue the workflow using the integrated scripts.

Collaboration Tools

Automates the end-to-end process of rebasing, testing, and merging feature branches into the main repository.

About

This skill provides a structured workflow for finalizing development tasks within the community-patterns repository. It automates critical steps including branch verification, rebasing onto main, checking for downstream dependency breakages, and ensuring documentation is current. By integrating PR creation and CI status monitoring with automatic branch cleanup, it ensures a clean git history and high code quality while reducing the manual overhead of the landing process.

Key Features

Integrated GitHub PR creation and CI status monitoring
Automated rebase-on-main workflow with safe force-pushing
Automatic branch deletion and local main synchronization
Downstream dependency analysis for modified pattern input types
6 GitHub stars
Pre-PR compilation and typecheck verification

Use Cases

Ensuring large-scale pattern changes don't break existing imported dependencies
Recovering and moving accidental commits from main to a new feature branch
Finalizing a completed feature branch for production merge
